So this morning the light on my 28g nano cube turned on and I think I blew a fuse, because it went on and then they shut off immediately. How do I repair a blown fuse?
 
Hi. is there one bulb or two in your cube? If you have two bulbs try the one that still works in the slot thats not on. this will tell you if it's the bulb or fixture.

Not sure how to test it if you have just one large bulb though, sorry. :)
 
U need to take a ohm meter or a regular multimeter would work and stick one prong in each side of the light socket. If u register a resistance measurement then u have what is called continuity. That means u don't have a blown fuse. If u don't have any continuity than it is likey a fuse and all u need to do is pull it out and go to the store and buy a new one. It will just POP out and they are rated in amps. If it keeps blowing u wither have a short in your wiring or ur getting a power surge from ur outlet
